Pythonic Programming Tips for Software Engineers

# Problem statement
This chapter explains how to choose proper names for classes, functions, and variables, how to document a function, and how to derive custom enumerated classes

# Tasks
* Define an adequately named `Enum` class that automatically enumerates the seasons (`Spring`, `Summer`, `Fall`, and `Winter`). 

* Write an adequately named and documented function that returns a random season. The season must be a member of the previously defined class.

Test the function by calling it several times. 

> **Note:** The `random` module  has the `choice()` function  to choose a random element from a collection.

Write a function that returns a random object.
